"The opportunity did present itself, and it was Bella's first acting job ever," Loughlin told People. "I thought, 'Wow, how special for me to be a part of that.'"

According to People, the mother-daughter duo spent a month filming together and loved every minute.

"My husband said to me, 'You know what, when will you ever get to be with her and get to spend that kind of time with her again?' " Loughlin told People. "So often they live in the same house, but [once] they're teenagers, they're out the door — once they get a car, they're gone!"
